600,000 striking teachers need our support, and as Wiosna, we've been offering it for weeks and will continue during this strike

It has happened. What should never happen in a state that respects its citizens, that wants to be a democratic state, is that today, for the first time since 1993, we once again have such a large strike of teachers and education workers. It's a disgrace for the state, a democratic state, where we talk so much about solidarity, education, about wanting high-level, modern education that simply invests in our future. It's a disgrace that teachers and education workers have been forced into this strike. This strike will, of course, also come at the expense of children, but I don't blame the teachers and education workers for undertaking this strike, because they are undertaking it in the interest of children and youth, of our country. Teachers and education workers know well that without this strike, it's impossible to talk about, discuss, and plan for a modern school, the future of our country. 600,000 striking teachers need our support, and as Wiosna, we have been offering this support for many weeks to the teachers who were protesting and negotiating earlier, and we will continue to offer it during this strike. We're keeping our fingers crossed for this strike to end as soon as possible, because this isn't just about wages for teachers and education workers, but primarily about the future of our children. It's a disgrace for this government that it hasn't kept its promises. Behind us is a billboard showing, quoting Prime Minister Szydło in her expose delivered on November 18, 2015, where she was full of platitudes, hopes, and promises that gave hope to teachers who trusted them. We must remember that the PiS government won these elections partly thanks to teachers, because teachers and education workers are a huge social group who trusted the rulers to finally solve a problem that had been unsolved for many years - stated Robert Biedroń at a press conference, unveiling the billboard.
